Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Deluxe

We’ve managed to build all of the functionality from our flagship Cali76 Standard into this little
marvel – and we’ve added the much­requested parallel mix control previously only found on our
limited editions.

Separate controls for Attack, Release and Ratio let you precisely tailor your tone, from
transparent transient control to flat­out limiting and monster sustain. Meanwhile, the elegant
jewel lamp functions as an intuitive three­colour gain reduction meter.

The ace in the hole is the Dry Blend control, which lets you mix your dry signal back in with your
compressed guitar tone for true parallel compression. An indispensable studio recording
technique, parallel compression gives you all of the tone thickening and increased sensitivity of
the Cali76, while keeping hold of the natural dynamic expression in your playing.

It’s the ultimate in transparent compression and sustain. By blending your “honest” guitar tone
together with more subtle compression, you can also create the kind of three­dimensional,
sparkling tone that you’re used to hearing on records – not coming out of your amp!

Smaller Size With No Compromise!
 
The original Cali76 is a big, beautiful compressor pedal that delivers studio­quality 1176­style
compression using discrete Class­A circuitry that’s true to the topology and design philosophy of
the original.
 
The Cali76 Compact Deluxe is of the same blood line, sharing the features, performance and
pedigree of its larger sibling, but in a smaller package and with parallel compression added on
top. A third of the size of the Cali76 Standard, the Compact Deluxe can be housed on even the
most congested of pedalboards.
 
Like all of our Compact Series pedals, the Cali76 Compact Deluxe features high­current,
discrete, Class­A circuitry for transparent, low­noise performance. We’ve taken a
no­compromise approach to the circuit design using only the best of modern components.
 
Please note: the Cali76 Compact Deluxe is powered by a mains adaptor only. We’ve dispensed
with the usual 9V battery option, both to save space and to allow us to adopt a high­current
approach, yielding lower noise levels and superior tone.
 
The Cali76 Compact Deluxe is all you need to experience organic, shimmering compressed
tone. If you’d rather concentrate on playing instead of tweaking, this is the pedal for you! Technical Specification
